Do you consider moving abroad for lower expenses after FIRE?
I’ve read that Thailand could be a good option to consider. Bangkok costs about the same as any Tier-1 city in India, and if we move near Chiang Mai, the cost of living can be around 30% lower. Other calm coastal areas near beaches might also be cheaper than staying in India, which could reduce the required FIRE number.
Do people seriously consider this as an option? People from the US or any developed country may not move to other developing countries because they are used to a certain lifestyle, but from an Indian perspective especially for someone who has lived in India all their life until retirement moving abroad might be easier since the quality of life would feel similar.
